All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

The food was delicious, and I felt that the tasty dishes were truly enjoyable. The chicken and pork had strong flavors, but I found them to be delicious! Since it was a buffet, I could take only what I wanted, which was just right. The desserts were especially tasty and featured Hawaiian-style cuisine. During the buffet, the dancers kept the atmosphere lively, which was fun. We moved to a hall in the same building for the show, where we enjoyed an authentic hula while reflecting on Hawaii's history. There were some songs in the impersonation show that I didn't quite understand, but each song was short, so I was able to enjoy it without getting bored. I experienced this with my husband on our honeymoon, and we both had a great time! However, since the seats are close together, it's necessary for everyone to take their own infection prevention measures. Also, the indoor areas in Hawaii are air-conditioned, so I recommend bringing something to wear over your clothes. I found a light cardigan to be just right! Thank you for the wonderful experience!

食事はおいしいものはおいしいと言った感じです
特にチキンや豚は味が濃いですが私はおいしかったです！
バイキングなので欲しいものだけ取ることができたので丁度よかったです
特にデザートが美味しく、ハワイらしい料理でした
バイキング中もダンサーさんが盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです
ショーは同じ館内のホールに移動してハワイの歴史を振り返りながら本格的なフラを見ました
モノマネショーはよく分からない曲もありましたがどの曲も短く飽きが来なかったので楽しく見ることができました
今回ハネムーンで夫と体験しましたが2人とも楽しめました！
ただ席が近いので感染対策は各自で行う必要があります
あとハワイの室内はエアコンがきいているので羽織るものを持参した方がオススメです
私は薄手のカーディガンが丁度よかったです！
楽しい体験をありがとうございました

First got welcomed by very nice people. Buffet opened and the food was good. The waiter offer some drinks. The show was very nice. We were able to discover dances and rituals from the Polynesian islands

I participated in the sunset tour on the Mai Tai Catamaran. Enjoying drinks while watching the sun gradually set over the ocean, with the waves and a pleasant breeze, it became the best memory. After the sunset, we were able to view the night scenery of Honolulu from the sea, enjoying various beautiful sights. It gets a bit chilly after the sun goes down, so I recommend bringing a jacket. I was very satisfied with the approximately two-hour tour.

マイタイ・カタマラン号のサンセットツアーに参加しました。
海の上からお酒を飲みながら、だんだん沈んでゆく太陽、波の上、風が心地よく、最高の思い出になりました。サンセットの後は、ホノルルの夜景を海側から眺めることができ、色々なけしきを堪能できます。
日が沈むと少し肌寒くなるので上着はあったほうが良いと思います。
約2時間のツアーに大満足です。

I participated in my honeymoon trip. The explanation for the order of going to the buffet was a bit unclear, but I was able to enjoy various Hawaiian dishes. The food was delicious. By the way, there were mostly international guests, and I was a bit anxious about the few Japanese participants, but a dancer with ties to Japan was very considerate.

We were seated in the second floor, but we were only about 10 meters away from the stage, so we had a great view. The show featured performances by Elvis and Michael Jackson, and the final fire show was incredibly impressive.

It turned out to be the best trip to Hawaii!

新婚旅行で参加しました。
ビュッフェを取りに行く順番の説明が少し分かりにくかったですが、色々なハワイ料理を楽しめました。料理は美味しかったです。ちなみに、ほぼ海外の方で日本人の参加は少なくて不安でしたが、日本にゆかりのあるダンサーが気遣いをしてくれました。
ショーは２階席でしたが、ステージから10メートルくらいしか離れておらず、とてもよく見えました。ショーにはプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンも出てきましたし、ファイナルのファイヤーショーは迫力満点でした。
最高のハワイ旅行になりました！

My wife and I are in Honolulu for our honeymoon and we cannot have picked a better Luau. The dinner and show is conveniently located in Waikiki, central to all the shopping and hotels. We were happily greeted by the staff right from checking in and the performers, hosts, servers were also very nice. They go above and beyond to make sure that every guest has a great experience. The buffet dinner had a lot of variety of foods that cater to everyone. After dinner, we headed into the theatre for the show. They took us through the history of Hawaii with music and dancing which was very entertaining. All the performers were truly talented. Especially the fire dancing! We would highly recommend this to our friends and families.

This sunset dinner cruise was a truely amazing experience for myself and my partner.
The three course dinner was ok, the appetiser and dessert were nothing special, but the main meal was incredible!!! We both couldn’t get enough of the crab!
The dancers were all very talented and was great entertainment onboard.
The singer and his niece also provided great entertainment in between meals.
The fireworks towards the end was also an amazing experience I will not soon forget.
One thing that stopped this from being a 5-star experience was that we were sat opposite a random couple on the same table as us, making this ‘date night’ a lot more awkward than we had expected.

Friendly, fun crew and music. Alchoholic beverages or guava juice served. Great view of the island and Diamond head. Sit in the front netting if you want to get wet. Definitely consider tying your hair up ladies because it was very windy out on the water.

So much fun . Easy to book and get on the boat. Such a nice staff. Would go again.

Fantastic & very friendly crew. Bottomless Mai Tais. Everything I expected & more. A must do when in Waikiki.

I was a bit anxious because there were mostly foreign participants and few Japanese attendees, but it was great that the luau buffet menu had Japanese descriptions. I was able to enjoy various Hawaiian dishes. A welcome drink was included, but any additional orders would incur extra charges. The roast beef and pork dishes were carved right in front of us. There were also desserts. Even from the second-floor seating, the show was very visible, but since both the show and buffet prioritize VIPs, I thought it might be worth paying for that. During the show, the Japanese attendees were wearing masks. The impersonations, hula, and fire dance were incredibly powerful and exciting, and I was glad to participate and feel the essence of Hawaii.

ほぼ海外の方で日本人の参加は少なくて不安でしたが、ルアウビュッフェメニューは日本語表記があったためよかったです。色々なハワイ料理を楽しめました。ウェルカムドリンクも1杯ついていて、それ以降注文する場合は別途お金がかかります。ローストビーフと豚料理は目の前で切り分けてくれました。デザートもあります。二階席でもショーはとてもよく見えましたが、ショーもビュッフェもVIP優先の順番になるため課金してもいいかなと思いました。ショー中は日本人の方はマスクをしていました。ものまねやフラ、ファイヤーダンスなどすごい迫力と盛り上がりで、参加してハワイを感じられてよかったです。

It was an amazing experience. Warm welcome. Wonderful place on the beach. The show was extraordinary. The food was tasty & variable. The staff was very nice & helpful. Service was excellent.

It was an Amazing experience. We spent the loveliest time in the middle of the ocean, saw the sunset & danced till we got tired. It was very clean, well maintained boat. Crew was very nice & friendly.

I chose this restaurant with live music by the poolside for my 80-year-old mother, who is traveling abroad for the first time with my spouse, hoping to have a dinner that feels like Hawaii. As soon as we entered the hotel, we could hear the music, and it was easy to find the restaurant. We waited about 10 minutes in line with three other groups, but it didn't feel long. Our seats were close to the stage, and there was a reserved sign placed there. Since we were a party of three, we could order almost all the menu options available, and everything was delicious and generously portioned. I was surprised by the size of the salad, and seeing the two types of main dishes accompanied by mashed potatoes made me feel like I was in Hawaii (laughs). We didn't touch the Huli Huli chicken and took it home as takeout for dinner the next day. Even the next day, it was tender after reheating. I found the pineapple crème brûlée to be quite delicious.

夫婦で海外旅行初の８０歳になる母親に、ハワイらしい場所でディナーをと思いプールサイドで生演奏のあるこのレストランを選びました。ホテルに入ると音楽が聞こえてきて、レストランの場所はすぐにわかりました。３組くらいの順番待ちで１０分程度待ちましたが、長くは感じませんでした。席はステージに近い横の方でしたがよく見える場所で、リザーブの札が置いてありました。３人で参加したので、選択できるメニューはほとんど注文できましたが、どれも美味しく、どれも量が多かったです。サラダの大きさに驚いたのと、メイン料理２種類にマッシュポテトが添えてあったのを見て、ハワイに来た感じを受けました(笑)フリフリチキンは手を付けず、そのまんまテイクアウトして翌日の夕食としていただきました。次の日でもレンチンして柔らかいチキンでした。私はパイナップル・クレームブリュレがかなり美味しかったです。

The experience was great, funny and friendly hosts, good music, very yummy bottomless mai tais and they had other options in their open bar too. The views were beautiful as well! Definitely add this to your to do list

It was disappointing that the planetarium was closed, possibly still due to the effects of COVID-19, but there were more exhibits than I expected, and the content was rich. I would like to visit again on a day when there are hula lessons.

まだコロナの影響があるのか、プラネタリウムが休止中で残念でしたが、思ってた以上に展示物が多く充実した内容でした。フラレッスンがある日にまた訪れたいです。

I highly recommend this! Really funny, informative and truly amazing talent.

Five years ago, I was moved when I first saw this show, and on the last day of my trip to Hawaii after five years, I went again. Although I was in the second-floor seats (not reserved), I was only about ten meters away from the stage, and the seating was arranged theater-style, rising from the front to the back, so I could see the cast's expressions well. The reception at the show venue starts at 7 PM, the show begins at 7:40 PM, and ends at 9 PM. If you finish an early dinner and enter as soon as the reception starts, you can sit in a good seat right in front of the stage.

Due to the weak yen, the prices have gone up a bit, but compared to show prices in Japan, I think it's still a good deal. I especially recommend this show for fans of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. The show is entirely in English, but even if you don't understand English, you can enjoy it thoroughly.

５年前に初めてこのショーを見て感激し、今回５年ぶりのハワイ旅行の最終日に再び出かけました。２階席（指定席ではない）とは言ってもステージから１０メートルくらいしか離れておらず、席は劇場スタイルに前方席から後方席にかけて高くなっているのでキャストの表情も良く見えます。ショー会場の受付開始が１９時、開演が１９時４０分、終演が２１時。ちょっと早めの夕食を済ませて、受付開始同時に入場出来ればステージ正面の良い席に座れます。
円安でちょっと料金は高くなりましたが、日本のショー料金と比べたら割安と思います。エルビスプレスリーのファンの方、マイケルジャクソンのファンの方には特におススメのショーです。ショーは全て英語ですが、英語が分からなくても十分楽しめるショーです。

Really pretty to see the sunset sky, and to enjoy an evening in Waikiki

Great Evening with a large community! The show was a blast

Fun evening, good singer very talented. Worth it to have an evening on the beautiful Hawaii waters!

I would say best luau on Maui, the fire dancers really tie the knot!

Really excellent ran, smooth entrance and good seating!

My family had a blast, the kids got to get involved which was great

The premium seating was awesome for the value. Food is excellent, show was amazng.

The Feast at Lele is a must do for your visit to Maui! Friendly staff, great food and drinks and an amazing show! I loved learning about the different cultures and seeing the dancing traditions. And the icing on top, of course, the fire knife dance!

I used this for my honeymoon.
I had a great time and was very satisfied.
I'll write about the plan details and other specifics.

First of all, I felt that there was a shortage of tourists in Hawaii overall, which led to a shortage of staff.
This wasn't a complaint, but perhaps due to the lack of Japanese tourists, there were few staff members who could speak Japanese, making it a country where good English is necessary.
At the reception area, there was supposed to be a hula dancer, but unlike the photos on this site, there was only one person... (laughs)
Since there were few people at the reception, it felt a bit lonely, but they danced just for us when we asked, so I think that was lucky in a way.

I mentioned that there were few tourists, and this tour also had a small number of participants, so there was plenty of space. However, participants were seated closely together, so the distance was quite close.
Unlike in Japan, no one was wearing masks, so if you're concerned about that, I think you should bring your own mask.
Also, we were told to share pineapples at the table, so there was some interaction with the people at the same table.

Regarding the buffet food, it was set up in a way that you go to each table island to get food, so it didn't feel like a place where you could freely go back for seconds.
I apologize for my poor serving skills, but the food itself was quite delicious. The welcome drink, Mai Tai, was also tasty, so I was satisfied.

Here are some photos from the Rock-a-Hula stage.
Not only hula dancing, but also impersonations of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson were presented in chronological order.
Elvis felt a bit out of place due to the era, but for those in their late 20s, I think they would enjoy the Michael Jackson songs, as he only performed songs that people would recognize.
The venue can hold about 750 people, but I think there were only about 60 during our time.
It felt very sparse, and it seemed like the performers were dancing just for us.
After the show, my wife and I took a photo with Michael.

I wrote this roughly, but it was truly a fun tour.
The waiter during the meal was also dancing in the show, and I couldn't help but think it must be tough for them, but the content was wonderful.
It was sad to feel that such a great show had so few people.
It was so enjoyable that I definitely encourage everyone to participate in this tour.

ハネムーンで利用しました。
とても楽しかったので大満足でした。
プラン内容やその他の詳細書いていきます。

まずはハワイ全体として観光客不足で、それに伴って人手不足だったと感じました。
それが不満だったわけではないのですが、日本人観光客が少ないせいか、日本語を話せるスタッフも少なく、しっかり英語が必要な国になってます。
③受付スペースでフラダンスを踊ってくれていたのですが、このサイトの写真とは異なり1人だけでした、、。笑
そもそも受付している人が少ないので、少し寂しい印象でしたが、お願いすれば自分達のためだけに踊ってくれたので、それはそれでラッキーだったのかなと思います。

②観光客が少ないと書きましたが、このツアーもやはり参加者が少なく、スペースとしては余っていました。しかし、参加者同士は詰めて座らされるので距離はかなり近いです。
日本と違ってマスクしてる人なんていないので、そういうのを気にされる方はご自身でマスクをつけていくべきかと思います。
また、みんなでフラダンスを踊ったりするだけでなく、テーブルでパイナップルを分け合ってくれ、とも言われるので同じテーブルの人とは多少交流することになります。

④ビュッフェの料理ですが、テーブルの島ごとに並んで取りに行く感じなので何回も自由に取りに行く雰囲気ではないです。
私の盛り方が下手で申し訳ないのですが、ご飯自体はかなり美味しかったです。ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイも美味しかったので、満足です。

①ロック・ア・フラのステージの写真です。
フラダンスだけでなく、エルビス・プレスリー、マイケルジャクソンのモノマネが歴史を追って順々に披露されていく感じです。
エルビスは年代からズレているのでふーん、と言った感じでしたが、マイケルジャクソンは20代後半くらいであれば聞いたことある曲しかやらないので、楽しめると思います。
会場自体は750人入れるらしいですが、私たちの時は60人くらいだったと思います。
非常に少なく、演者の人たちが自分たちだけに踊ってくれているように感じました。
ショーの後、私と妻はマイケルと3ショットで写真を撮ってもらいました。

ザックリと書きましたが、本当に楽しいツアーでした。食事の時のウェイターの人が、ショーでも踊っていて、なんだか大変なのかなぁと思ってしまいますが、内容としては素晴らしいです。
こんなに良いショーなのにこんなに人が少ないなんて悲しい、、と感じてしまうほどでした。
とても楽しいので、ぜひ皆さんも参加していただきたいツアーです。

This is my first time joining the Luau dinner with Polynesian Show. When we arrived there was a traditional Hawaiian dance to greeting us. The Luau dinner was tasty. But the line was moving a bit slow. Buffet dinner was starting at 6pm, but when we started getting the food, it was already passed 6:30pm. Not enough time to enjoy the food.
The show was spectacular. Great music and dance including Polynesian and Contemporary choreography. The fire knife dance was scary awesome. I highly recommend this show if you are interested in a lively, entertaining night in Honolulu!

The crew had great energy and the Captain played great music!! The view was amazing and the drinks over flowed! I would definitely do this again!

Incredible attentive crew with a beautiful setting

One of the most memorable things we have ever experienced. I genuinely felt like family! We will recommend this to everyone we know!
